Nelson Pressley on the Jerry Herman Concert

The Washington Post’s review of the NSO Pops Jerry Herman concert: “Jerry Herman is Broadway’s sunshine boy, unabashedly sentimental and uplifting and unmatched at penning title tunes — “Mame,” “Hello, Dolly!” — that stick with you for life. The National Symphony Orchestra delivers this largely familiar music as an easy sigh throughout “Jerry Herman’s Broadway,” the pops concert that opened Thursday at the Kennedy Center.”
